The Knights of Columbus are Catholic gentlemen committed to the exemplification of charity, unity, fraternity, patriotism, and defense of the priesthood. Our council is located in Chesapeake Virginia. If you are a practical Catholic living in or near Chesapeake and are interested in the Knights, we’d love to hear from you.
Our council supports Prince of Peace Parish at 621 Cedar Road. The Knights of Columbus are a way to serve our Faith, our Church, our Parish, and the community. The individuals that make up our Council decide for themselves what is best for them and their families in terms of the events or programs they want to support.
The Council charitable events and fundraisers are listed on the “Upcoming Events” Tab on the top menu and our calendar is a way to review a typical year.
